My neighbor and his wife like to give my boys treats and pets, but the fence made it hard. ❤️

He cut a window added hinges and a latch so he could pet the dogs.

The posts are facing into your yard. Wouldn't that technically make it his fence? Maybe I have that backwards? Regardless, cool story, cool neighbor, super cool dogs lol

I always thought you would put the posts inward to prevent climbing, but another neighbor installed a fence that was built like you said. I have no idea!

Maybe it doesn’t matter?

I've always thought that the posts face outwards, because you get to look at the nice, finished fence, and not the ugly posts (if the fence was yours). Who knows anymore lol

I remember a fence with the slats in both sides and the posts in the middle from a childhood home. I think people just started being cheap smh

I remember those, too. Then started seeing (or maybe noticing?) The current fence styles. I think you're right. Things are getting much more expensive, and people aren't earning that much more, so they have to cut corners where they can. It's easy to cheap out on a fence.
